Staphylococcus

Posted by @ling @wangling, 3 days ago

Hi everyone,
Now I have Staphylococcus infection again. This is the third time I have it. I think it may never go away even though I was treated.
Anybody else have this problem? How were you treated? I heard that some doctors don't treat it and leave it alone. Would there be potential to get pneumonia if it is not treated?

Thanks!

Sorry to hear. How frustrating! How's your airway clearance?

Thanks scoop for asking. I thought I am doing a really good job about airway clearance. So right now my pulmonologist is waiting for sensitivity study, if it is the same staph as the last two times he thinks it is colonization rather than an infection. In that case, he doesn't treat it.

While we are on airway clearance...... a lot of time I feel very dry, when I feel very dry, it is hard to get things out? I normally have to take a break. Do you expereince that?
